"Don't these idiots have any understanding of the real cost and operational benefits of a proper programme of a Preventative Maintenance on our roads.

Delayed repairs and lack of ongoing inspection and repair of minor defects as and when they occur save money in the longer term. Any failure to do this leads to escalating impact damage from traffic enlarging any defect which will lead to an escalation of more water penetration under the road surface and foundation softening and further collapse of the road surface around the defect, ultimately exascerbated by frost damage and even larger and more defcts requiring repairs. i

"Cheap" low standard repairs after significant potholes have occured in will only lead to more damage which in turn will lead to even higher bills in the near future compared with repairs being carried out properly in the first place! In addition the likely compensation payments to motorists' insurers for tyre and suspension damage and even exhaust damage will become quite significant."
